    Looking at beginning if October, but that depends. I may get super anxious and knock it out this spring lol

    Does that have the stock rear?!?
    More I look at that tube bed the more I like it lol. Low, simple, clean, and can still haul some stuff...

    Both cases are stock 2.28. I'm planning on taking the rear case out and putting it in the 82 and putting the 4.70 case that's in the 82 in the tacoma.

    You got it. It uses the same style case that I have in the 82 which are gear driven, not chain driven like your tacoma case.

    Looking forward to seeing you cut up that nice truck haha

    I have bedsides laying in the garage for it, just need to figure out some mounts. I may rework the flatbed a little to allow for a dovetail.
